The Start

The smell of smoke and burning wood overpowered her senses. The sounds of her own screaming seemed to fade into an empty ringing noise as she stared up into nothing. She could feel the flames lick across her and just as she thought she was about to be consumed by the internal flames… she woke up.

Gasping Rose looked around wildly. Bright blue eyes landed on the form of her doctor beside her. The man held up his arms making soothing sounds in an attempt to calm her.

Looking around once more, she felt herself relax.

"You did well today Rose. Very well indeed, here." The Doctor got up and walked over to his desk picking up a bottle of something before giving it to her.

Curiously the girl looked at the bottle, she studied the letters on the side.

"Bu.. Bub-"

"Bubbles." The man said in a soothing voice and a soft smile. "You deserve a treat after this I think."

The girl smiled at him as she opened the bottle and took out the wand. Bubbles soon filled the room and then the hall as the Doctor chuckled and led the girl out.

Putting the bubbles away for the time being, the girl went in search for her friend, heading towards one of the many bay windows the hospital had. This one in particular was extra special. It was their spot. It was where they first met, it was where they told each other little secrets, it was even there that they shared their first kiss.

"Leslie!" The girl called out happily as she spotted the albino boy already there, looking out the window. He turned and smiled as Rose approached him.

"Look at what I have!" The girl began excitedly, pulling out the bottle of bubbles.

She began blowing into the wand and soon the air around them was filled with them. The boy flinched at first before a joyous grin spread across his face.

"Bubbles.. bubbles.. bubbles.." Leslie repeated happily popping a few.

She held the wand in front of the boy "Blow in it to make the bubbles"

The boy let out a puff of air but no bubbles came out. Rose shook her head as a sad look passed the boys face.

"Look, like this she." She instructed before demonstrating.

Soon they were both blowing and popping bubbles and giggling that they did not realise that it was almost time for lunch.

It wasn't until both Rose's and Leslie's Doctors arrived that Rose realised the time, they had to have therapy before lunch.

Leslie, upon seeing his doctor, started to grow agitated, pulling at the hem of his shirt as he began mumbling to himself and shaking his head. Rose gave him a quick hug and a little kiss on the check before reassuring him that they would each other again quite soon. It seemed to help calm him a little.

If only Rose knew then what was about to happen, she would of never let go
